When i was a kid i found out on my own about masturbation. At some point, in elementary school, my mom had got one of those seat massager (the kind you just lay over a chair or lay on a bed) and i somehow figured out when i lied on it, it made me "feel good."

I figured it out on my own at a really young age. It's a fairly natural thing...little kids do it all the time. We just teach them not to, and that it's bad/dirty. The coolest response I've seen so far to young kids (5 and 6 year old girls) masturbating was their mom telling them that this wasn't something that you are supposed to do in public. It's something you do in your room or the bathroom, and you need to wash your hands and go to the bathroom after. No shame, no guilt, just facts and rules to keep other people from feeling uncomfortable and the kids from a UTI or something.

I don't remember exactly, but I wouldn't be surprised if I learned from my church! The LDS (Mormon) Church teaches that masturbation is a sin, so I may very well have learned about it from that. I didn't figure out how to turn myself on for a long time, though, so despite a few attempts, I was never successful until the age of 21.

I figured it out as a preteen before I even knew what it was exactly, it just felt great haha. I was actually scared that it was something harmful at first until I started seeing stuff online about it, thank god for the internet!

When I was 10 years old I went into my parent's room to grab a book from the shelf since I had finished the one I was reading. My mom came over and handed me a book and told me to go read it. It was a book about sex for kids and one part mentioned masturbation. I had recalled sitting certain ways that made me feel good there, but thought it was wrong to touch myself in that way because of how I grew up. I started kind of touching through my underwear, and eventually took the plunge and explored myself a little more.

I sort of figured some of it out on my own, but I needed a little help to get all of it. My family had a "shower massage" hand-held shower thingy, and I discovered, right before puberty, that it felt good on the head of my penis when I was aroused. But it didn't send me over the edge.

Around that time, I spent the night with a friend of mine who was a little older. We "camped out" in his big backyard. He had just discovered masturbating to completion and proudly demonstrated. I was AMAZED at how far his cum went when he came! I tried it, but couldn't get off then. But I did soon after that, in private. And the rest, as they say...
